Let music seize attention and imagination; let it drown out thought and conversation.
This is not the purpose of music, but the extent to which listening may lose its perceptual virtue. Even so, one may conclude that the art is reduced to that of conveyance, to the transfer and articulation of content, which can be emotional, social, political, and, at best, of the culturally good.
Set aside the idea of music, and consider only the nature of sound as the environment presents it, ordered and represented as art may, through tones, lines, spatial relationships, and movement, as elements of atmospheres. Listen, and hear.
